Abstract
IN a recent leading article (NATURE, June 4) attention was directed to a notable achievement in chemical co-operation exemplified by the recent publication of a volume of abstracts covering the whole field of pure and applied chemistry, issued under the direction of the Bureau of Chemical Abstracts. This unifying enterprise is a significant manifestation on the literary side of a wider movement towards the consolidation and standardisation of the chemical profession within the British Empire. Another aspect of chemical co-ordination is revealed by the remarkable growth in membership and in national importance of the Institute of Chemistry, which this year celebrates its jubilee. This record of progress is admirably reviewed in a recent lecture to the Institute by its immediate past president, Mr. A. Chaston Chapman.1
